Source Book for Innovation

Foreign-owned companies setting up in Ireland have been a major force in introducing new technologies. A growing number of indigenous companies have also begun to invest in innovation strategies, but the pace of technology diffusion across the whole economy has been insufficient. It is against this background that this guide to sources of information on the exploitation of research results has been produced. It facilitates identification of contact points for a range of national and EU support programmes, information sources, research and development organizations, technology transfer and licensing agencies and specialist support organizations.
